This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Marleycat;757844Well duh, why do you think I mentioned white rooming? We aren't playing 0e and Sam the fighter with his 27 no name NPC redshirts here.

Yeah. Now you can have as many retainers as you want since there is nolonger a charisma limiter.

Quote from: languagegeek;757802I think I'd much rather get bonked with a staff than stabbed with a spear.

I did notice that all of the weapons have a 'damage type' listed.  I'm not clear on what, if any, mechanical effect that will have.  But, as an example, in GURPS any cutting damage that penetrates armor is increased by 50%, and piercing damage is doubled - so something similar to that may happen?

Quote from: Bill;757890He should quad wield two staves and two shields, and dual ride a pair of panthers into battle.

Each staff should dual wield scimitars.

I read that as 'Each Staff should deal wield Minotaurs'. Which I believe is a brilliant decision.

So long as the minotaurs dual wield scimitars.

It's D'riz'z't.  There's gotta be dual wielding scimitars in there somewhere.

Get him a Drizzt version of the Sly sword. essentially a sword dual wielding swords...

Well ok, Technically the Sly sword was a dagger wielding a sword dual wielding swords...

Now combine this with a Staff of Wielding and you are good to go.

Quote from: Brander;757832It's not really a viable loadout in reality or history unless you are in a formation.  A "medium" spear and shield being viable would make me happy too though.

Neither was holding up a cross to ward off a vampire. But, ya know, verisimilitude. ;)

You do know why Drizzt and scimitars are a thing right? It's from UA it's a drow racial ability in 1e. Drow are the only PC race able to dual wield medium weapons. It's why scimitars are light weapons and hand crossbows aren't exotic weapons in 5e, given Drow are in PHB and expected to be a viable choice in most games and probably OP.

Heh, everyone over 40 did that already.
Even the the "cutting edge" storygamers for all their talk of narrative, plot, and drama are fucking obsessed with the god damned rules they use. - Estar

Isuldur is a badass because he stopped Sauron with a broken sword, but Iluvatar is the badass because he stopped Sauron with a hobbit. -Malleus Arianorum
